These picks are probably the best tone change I have gotten in awhile. I bought these picks when they first came out. I have been trying and trying to nail some of the squels EVH does, and I just wasn't getting them. I actually think the Nylon has something to do with it. Although a little on the pricey side, I would recommend to any Van Halen fan; or any rock player in general. The tin is a nice bonus as well.

Like my review title says, this are exactly Herco Flex 75 nylon pick that's been stamped with the EVH logo and comes in a fancy pick tin. Nothing special with this picks except the hyped up logos and the EVH name. A 12 pack of Herco Flex 75's can be had for around $3.99. This are EVH picks of course and they have to be very "special" so they also have a specially high price. However, Herco Flex 75's are great picks and have been used by legends like Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Gene Simmons and later in his career, Eddie Van Halen and countless others. As advertised, these are supposedly .60mm, equivalent of a thin gauge pick. However, these are not .60mm. I measured them with a digital caliper and they measured up exactly like...you've guessed it, the Herco Flex 75's which are 1.03mm. The Herco Flex 75's are NOT .75mm as many believe they were. They are 1.03mm! And the Herco Flex 50's are not .50mm either! Those are .63mm. The numbers 75 and 50 on the Herco picks are not their respective thickness, but their model numbers that signify medium and heavy. Pick manufacturers have their own size version of their pick models. One manufacturer's Medium is Heavy on another. The reason why pro players likes these Herco flex 75 Nylon picks is because of it's flexibility inspite being as thick as a comparable Heavy pick, these are very flexible. Nylon picks also sound brighter than most pick materials. Bottom line, these picks are another one of those things that Eddie stamped his name on and miraculously become very special and therefore expensive. Oh well, he made a name for himself so he has to make a lot of money from it. If you're a EVH fan and into collecting, these would be great for you. But don't be fooled by the thought that these is another one of those "special secret" weapon that Eddie uses to sound great. Eddie sounds like Eddie and these picks...? They won't make you sound like Eddie.

I got these picks as a gift, and they're a nice change of pace from the Fender heavies and Tortex greens that I use. I compared them to a Herco Flex 75 and a Herco Flex 50, and they seem thinner and more flexible than both, although the design and materials seem very similar. They give both my electric and acoustic guitar strumming and picking a softer, more mellow tone. And I like the extra grip that's built in.

Many cases it is the pick that is no better than the idiot holding it. I use 60mm picks. Gray Dunlops. I bought this and I still haven't opened it up because I am thinking that someday it will be a collector item when it is not available any more. From looking at the ad it seems like they are almost exactly like my 60mm dunlops. I will order some more to open then and use them though. But this one I haven't even broken the seal yet. Funny thing...being in the 80s I got a pick that was from a stage show from Van Halen from the fair warning tour. It is the marble cola colored -appears to be a Fender Medium with a Gold VH wings on it. Much different from what he claims he uses today. I know Ted Nugent uses a approx 60mm pick like this as well. I like these 60mm better than the Fender Mediums we used to use in the 70s and 80s.

Ok, so I got these to add to my picks and plectrum collection. I really can't give an acurate review because I havn't yet opened them and don't plan to anytime soon if at all. Why? Well again, I bought them specifically for collecting. I use other picks for playing actually. It's obvious that these picks are made for Eddie Van Halen fans, but if anyone likes the Herco brand Flex picks, then that's what these are basically. Herco makes Flex 50 and 75 mm's (thin and med-heavy) so if your looking for a Herco Flex pick with a gauge (60mm) that falls in between, then I would recommend these EVH signatures.

The EVH picks and case are nice, however they are not medium gauge as stated. They are light gauge at best, I can't even use them b/c they are so light. Very flimsy nylon. They would be alot better if they were .70 or bigger. I was very disapointed when I opened them......

These are really good picks. I bought them and thought to myself "Nylon, these look like average picks." But do not be fooled, these help you get the squeal out of your axe! A great case for your picks too!

Well.. I've always known a pick could change your tone. But boy, does this pick change it. I have always tried to nail the squels like Ed, and I'm thinking he used Nylon all the time and thats why it works. A++++
